20th century painting of Mai Bhago
Mai Bhago also known as Mata Bhag Kaur, was a Sikh woman who led Sikh soldiers against the Mughals in 1705. She was an exceptionally skilled warrior on the battlefield and is revered as a warrior saint in Sikhism. She was known for rallying the 40 Sikhs (Chali Mukte) who abandoned Guru Gobind Singh at the siege of Anandpur Sahib and bringing them back to fight.

The first Chinese regiment 1898 -1906
The regimental war cry of Sikh regiments is Jo 'Bole So Nihal, Sat Sri Akal'. It means “whoever utters shall be content”, and the second phrase means “Only God is eternal, we all mortals destined to die one day,(may be in the battle field or sitting in your home).” 
The motto of the Sikh Regiment is 'Nischay Kar Apni Jeet Karon (With determination, I will be triumphant). The regimental motto of the Sikh Light Infantry, Deg Teg Fateh, stands for “prosperity in peace, victory in war”. These mottos underscore the belief that all victory belongs to God and emphasise the importance of charity for the needy and the sword against oppression.
One of the most celebrated and widely quoted hymns composed by Guru Gobind Singh is an invocation to Lord Shiva for his blessings to never shy away from doing good deeds: Deh Shiva bar mohe ehey shubh karman se kabhun na taro. It goes on to seek God’s blessings to be brave and resolute in battle: "Na daro.n arrso,n ab jaye laro.n, nischey kar apni jit karo.n"
The central theme of this inspiring hymn shows Sikh soldiers the path to righteousness: “Never flinch from stepping in front of the enemy to protect the poor, weak and needy of the world; never have any apprehension or anxiety about the righteous fight ahead.”
Sikh soldiers have made the central message contained in this hymn their primary guiding light in life.
Guru Gobind Singh Founder of Sikh Fauj(Army),who sacriced his parents and all 
the 4 sons Fighting Mugals (Afgaan Invaders),for the Nation. I challenge the World
the world to name ever lived a man who sacrificed his generations for the mother 
land and humankind

Now I learnt that both my favorites are somehow related to the cow! Surprised? I share my research  with you, as follows :- ladybugs/ lady birds called "God's cows" in some languages (such as Russian, French, Hebrew, etc.) The creature beloved in many countries. In Russian, we call it “God’s cow”. Yep, something like this. Ladybugs smell with their feet and antennae. The farmers began to call the Ladybugs “the Beetles of Our Lady” and eventually they were known as Lady Beetles. The Ladybug's red wings are said to represent the Virgin's cloak and the black spots her joys and sorrows. The Ladybug is widely...
